120V TV outlet problem

My 89 Winnie Chieftain has two TV's. One above the driving area and one in the bedroom. Neither 120V plugs adjacent to the TV's have power. Every other 120V plug has power including the GFI in the bathroom. The breaker box has 5 breakers which I have cycled on and off. I am at a loss as to why these two plugs would be dead. They were working two days ago.

On "some" MH's there is a relay that cuts power to the TV while driving could have blown 12V fuse or failed relay. If you have the owners manual it should tell you.

If you have an Inverter check the circuit breaker on the inverter.

I have the digital owners manual that I will look at when I get home. The inverter is enclosed and there doesn't seem to be any access to the internals.

Did you verify which breaker controls the tv's? That would be step 1. If you can do that pull the panel cover and make sure there is power at the black or hot wire at the breaker. Breakers do go bad. I hope its something simple. Hate to use the "M" word but is there any chance a mouse got in there and chewed through a wire?

After unplugging from shore power and running the gen set for a bit the problem resolved.
